Testing a turbo
I've never heard of this before, but I guess it's somewhat valuable if your looking for a turbo and want to check the bearings. Maybe I should be a little more productive when I get home from work than sit on FTE and/or look of videos on youtube.

Well atleast they use a good test mule! I can think of a few easier ways though. Grab the end of the shaft with your finger and check for play. Even more fun would be to duct tape the exhaust housing inlet to the tail pipe of your truck and have your friend red line it for 3 minutes. Might need to rig up an oil dropper for the bearings though lest your good turbo no longer be good when your done.
